Chapter 2100 Challenge
Emery stood firm, as much as he wished to, he couldn't just make the first move and beat them without a cause; hence, he offered a solution.
"If you truly seek to claim this valuable corpse, you are welcome to do so... However, it's undeniable that we've done a large share of the work in subduing this beast. Therefore, let's settle this matter fairly through a spar. One-on-one combat—winner takes the claim."
The Ancient Desolate Beast Corpse held immense worth, laden with tier 5 and 6 materials, with the tantalizing possibility of even tier 7 treasures lurking within. VIA swiftly calculated its value at a staggering 7 to 8 million spirit stones, contingent on the condition of its innards. Such riches rivaled those of tier 7 artifacts, presenting a lucrative opportunity for any Magus even a Grand Magus-level individual.
But beyond its material value, Emery's proposition offered something more profound—a chance for the Kux faction to dominate their detested half-blood adversaries. It was an invitation to settle scores and assert superiority, wrapped in the guise of a fair contest.
"Both my seniors here will be guarding the formations; I will take on any of you,"
Seeing Emery's previous strength and the fact Magus Tobin was still recovering, the two, Tobin and Beatrice, allowed Emery to proceed.
"So do you dare?" Emery said the words while purposely gazing at Edgar, the angered Kux noble. This led to the arrogant Edgar accepting the challenge without even waiting for the grand magus' decision.
All played out as he expected; the full moon 'elite' magus was confident enough to beat up this 'junior' half-blood to a pulp. "I will beat you up!! So you will learn some manners!"
This Edgar wasn't just any run-of-the-mill Magus; he was honed and cultivated by a Grade 4 faction. This faction has multiple supreme magus as their leader, along with dozens of grand magus serving as elders, their resources were bountiful.
With a swift motion, the man unleashed his strength, conjuring a fierce torrent of wind that surged around him. Strengthening his arms, he assumed a martial art stance, his focus honed on three extended fingers—a telltale sign of the Kux faction's specialty technique, the [Divine Eagle Claw].
"But... that bastard! They're cheating!"
Not only did it turn into three against one, but upon seeing Emery still able to evade their coordinated attack, the grand magus gave another command. Suddenly, multiple runes started to glow on his four limbs. It was a spell cast by the Kux formation expert, aiming to restrain Emery and bring him to his knees.
"Now! Break all of his bones!" The Grand Magus's order rang out.
Aware that he could no longer stall for time, Emery revealed his true strength. The silvery fur adorning his limbs transformed into a deep, lustrous black, while his hair turned white, a visual manifestation of the raw power coursing through him.
[Twilight Transformation]
With a fierce growl, Emery surged forward, shattering free from the magical restraints with a burst of sheer force. Before the Grand Magus could react, Emery launched a counterattack, his movements a blur of speed and precision. His fists, wreathed in crackling energy, met their targets with bone-crushing force.
BAAM!! BAAM!! BAAM!!
Each blow sent shockwaves reverberating through the bodies of his adversaries.
With battle strength exceeding a grand magus level, a single punch was sufficient to send each junior magus tumbling to the ground. Meanwhile, amid Edgar's cries of pain, Emery swiftly restrained him.
Emery confidently declared to the grand magus, "I win."
